These days Linux distributions call themselves "operating systems." I bet a lot of people who were not around 10 years ago reading | DragonFly BSD was originally forked from FreeBSD 4.8 in June of 2003, | by Matthew Dillon. The project was originally billed as "the logical | continuation of the FreeBSD 4.x series", as quoted in Matthew Dillon's | announcement, but this description has long since become obsolete. think that DragonFly BSD and FreeBSD are distributions of the same "BSD" operating system, pretty much like Ubuntu Linux and Debian GNU/Linux are distributions of the same "Linux" operating system. I am amazed that OpenBSD mailing lists are not spammed with questions "Why my favorite NetBSD kernel module does not work?" Probably dragonflybsd.org should stress more that it is a proper operating system, and not a distribution or a tiny patchset against FreeBSD. -- Dmitrij D. Czarkoff
